Episode Synopsis
Today I'm discussing one of the most crucial parts of your novel: the first pages. You've heard it a million times, your opening pages need to quote hook readers, but why is that so important?

They set up expectations, pose story questions, establish tone.And if you're aiming for traditional publishing, they might just be your one shot at impressing literary agents or editors at publishing houses. In this episode, I'll unpack why those first pages matter so much and how to make them work hard for your story.Website | April Workshop
